Can the US government just fire anybody they want for whatever reason?
Only when a Republican is in office. When a Democrat is in office, we have to keep DeJoy running the post office.
Can the US government just fire anybody they want for whatever reason? (Iâve seen lots of things implying they can, but Iâve never seen anything stating it clearly.)
Because if thatâs the case, yeah, nobody there will help. Youâll just see a lot of people exiting it.

The first day of his inaguration, Trump put forth an executive order that will attempt to make all federal employees Schedule F, basically, the same protections as a political appointee instead of a civil servant. This will make them basically at will employees.
DunkinCoder is correct they are also making it really awful to work for the federal government with RTO and freezing of funding. And the hiring freeze. But itâs not the complete picture, its actually much worse.
There will be court cases with federal employees trying to keep their jobs. I suspect they will fail, due to how the courts are republican controlled right now. The firings havenât started yet. Expect them soon.

Whoâs going to stop them?

Not really. The goal aside from probationary employees is to make the workforce miserable so they quit and starve itself in the process. RTOs (especially for those hired remotely, say states away), is one example.
âHey the government is even more inefficient, letâs fire all the low performers.â - To the employee left doing 5x usual workload at 50% efficiency.
